## Description

MemReduct is a Windows memory management tool designed to monitor RAM usage and free up physical memory. It functions as a system cache cleaner that flushes working sets, registry caches, modified file caches, and standby lists to reduce overall memory consumption.

The project operates as an automated memory optimizer, utilizing a background service to trigger cleaning routines based on predefined timeouts or resource thresholds. It includes a real-time monitoring dashboard to track system memory and pagefile statistics and provides a command-line interface for executing memory reduction tasks and managing configurations without a graphical user interface.

The tool's capability surface covers system resource monitoring, automated memory cleaning, and operation logging to record the outcomes of memory reduction tasks in a local file.
